Editorial Photography process

Once he receives a signed work agreement, he sorts out the details with the subject and discusses scheduling, clothing, and logistics for the portrait.

As a Los Angeles editorial photographer, he understands that time is meaningful to subjects, so his editorial assignments take about 60-90 minutes to scout and set up, 20-30 minutes to shoot, and another 30 minutes to break down. Some editorial portrait assignments take longer and require a photo assistant, but photojournalism assignments do not.

Most Los Angeles editorial photography assignments take one to two hours from start to finish but production times can change depending on the scope of editorial photography assignments.

After the images have been edited and color-graded, we upload them to an Adobe gallery for review and usually deliver within 48 hours. Final delivery is via Dropbox or WeTransfer.

We are often available for last-minute editorial photography assignments and can deliver images the same day, when necessary.

Business publications looking for a Los Angeles editorial photographer can also refer to our corporate photography gallery for a better sense of his capabilities. University magazines looking for an experienced editorial photographer can also review our various other galleries or our blog.

We shoot with Nikon cameras, and our lighting scenarios typically involve a softbox, Octobank, beauty dish, and or silks, depending on the client's needs. Editorial assignments are usually not scouted, and Ed arrives prepared for everything.

For editorial photography assignments in the Los Angeles area, we usually shoot and post within 24 hours, and for travel assignments, we usually post images for review within 48 hours after our return.
